Passover Celebrated
19 (A)And the exiles celebrated the Passover on (B)the fourteenth of the first month. 20 (C)For the priests and the Levites had cleansed themselves together; all of them were clean. Then (D)they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, both for their brothers the priests and for themselves. 21 Then the sons of Israel who returned from exile and (E)all those who had separated themselves from (F)the uncleanness of the nations of the land to join them, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate the Passover. 22 And (G)they celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with gladness, for Yahweh had caused them to be glad and (H)had turned the heart of (I)the king of Assyria toward them to [a]strengthen them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

The Passover Is Celebrated
19 The exiles celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 20 Because the priests and the Levites together had purified themselves, all of them were ceremonially pure. The Levites slaughtered the Passover for all of the exiles, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves. 21 The Israelites who had returned from the exile ate the Passover lambs, together with every person who had separated himself from the impurity of the nations of the land in order to join them, in order to seek the Lord, the God of Israel. 22 For seven days they celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread joyfully, because the Lord had made them joyful, since he had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them, to encourage them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel.
